Skeebopper

Jingle
I had a lot of fun writing lyrics that made absolutely no sense. This is literally my first time using garage band, so it was nice to just start with mixing voices without anything fancy. I also appreciated the fact that this first submission was for something silly — as someone who is extremely corny, it was a very approachable format for me. Excited to do more of this with you all!
Lyrics:
Well it’s Saturday night and the party’s hot
Everybody’s waiting for the roaring to start
And when the landlord rolls up and starts to pout
When the pizza queen comes rolling in and steals your heart
The skeebopper – it’ll make you shout
It will roll you up and turn you in and spit you out
And when the landlord says that he’s cutting the trout
Well the skeeboppers hoppers will pop you out
The skeebopper – it skees your knees
It’s what they’re talking about across the seven seas
The skeeboppers hopping up the fleas you sneeze
Please please skeebopper won’t you squeeze my cheese
The skeebopper – waddily bop
The muckracker racker is gonna call up the cop
The popsi copsi popsicle and what have you got?
The skeebopper’s copper – and that says a lot
The skeebooper – shee boop shee wee
I’d like a stinking akin shake called a vanilla freeze
And if you’ve got the message loud and clear then do what you please
And dial 1-600-6603
Skeeeeeee — bop
Looking for feedback on
First time using garageband so any comments on mixing or effects would be helpful.

Welcome! I had no idea what I was in for when i clicked play on this. so tight, hilarious, cheerfully chirpy, and, odd. Laughed the whole time.
Where… did… this… jingle… come… from? How did you write it?

just added them. Depending on the depths of your soul, they may or may not mean something to you.

Welcome! This was ~very stinking fun~. Mixing and dynamics are good for me—might want to consider some (more?) room verb to blend things together more. How are you recording?
skstoxdale August 17, 2020 2:19pm
welll… the internal mic on my macbook. but I do have an h1n1 recorder that I might be able to use in the future (?!?) Working with minimal gear. But yes, thank you, I will explore this room verb you speak of. youtube here I come.
